Common Types of Hurricane Damage in West Virginia
Hurricanes and tropical storms can cause many types of property damage. These are some of the most common types you should look out for:
- Roof damage
- Flooding and water damage caused by heavy rains
- Structural damage
- Electrical system or fire damage
- Damage to personal property
What You Should Do Before and After the Storm
Document everything. Before the storm arrives, take pictures of your property, including additional buildings like sheds and garages. In addition, make complete lists of as much of your personal belongings as possible. After the hurricane, keep a written record of all damage, including small items, supplemented with pictures. Start with wide shots of all four sides of your home, including the roof, and then take closer photographs of more subtle or severe damage.
Prevent further damage after the storm. You might not know it, but your insurance policy likely contains a clause that requires you to take reasonable measures to protect your property from further damage after a storm passes. For example, if you have a broken window, you should cover it to prevent water damage inside your home. Of course, you should only take such measures if or when it is safe to do so.
File your claim as soon as possible. Your insurance company will take any opportunity to deny your claim. Remember to file your claim as soon as you can so that you don’t miss any filing deadlines.
